Paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Young Girls at the Piano by Pierre-Auguste Renoir(oil on canvas, 45-5/8x35-3/8 inches)resides in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's 1892 work, Young Girls at the Piano, demonstrated the continued interest by Renoir in the subject of middle-class entertainment. In Young Girls at the Piano, Pierre-Auguste Renoir has portrayed two young women involved in making music. This was a popular and highly respectable leisure activity for young women and, like the cozy, well-appointed interior, reflects a well-bred and comfortable bourgeois atmosphere.
